Hairspray (movie)
I watched the movie Hairspray, the new movie and not the original, for kicks and grins. Was I disappointed! I suppose that I should have taken my own cues that I was not too impressed with the first version of Hairspray! Anyway, if you want to listen to pop …
Mr. Brooks movie
I loved watching this movie. It’s about man who is sometimes controlled by the other side of him. I think that they did an amazing job how they captured the other side of him, how they did the whole movie. Kevin Costner plays mr. brooks. He does a great …
Movie The Terminal
I read so much good reviews about this romantic movie that ended up with very high expectations while watching. While I must admit that Tom Hanks is simply great, this movie cannot be classified with a great romantic ending.It seems that even the director of this movie Spielberg was …
Erin Brockovich movie
Erin Brockovich is in my opinion a semi-classic movie, which is good for watching many times over,rather than just once. For me it works at a lot of different levels, from being a simple “more power to women” movie, to a David v/s Goliath struggle against a large corporation, …

Movie: The Last Airbender
The Last Airbender is a movie I would not pay for to see again. However, that doesn’t mean it was necessarily a bad movie. The effects were dead on, the casting was great, and the accuracy to the cartoon wasn’t bad either.
However, it was not long enough, and …
Blank Check movie
I completely forgot about this movie until some time recently when I was having a discussion with a few of my friends about children’s movies from the nineteen nineties. The name of the movie Blank Check came up and I decided to write about it. It was not my …
The Dead Zone
OK, is there a movie Christopher Walken doesn�t have a role in? Though, I have to admit, it was a bit strange seeing him actually be the star rather than have a supporting role.
Last night was the first time I had a chance to watch this movie from the …
Where the Wild Things Are

Van Helsing
I remember watching Van Helsing at the movies with my then boyfriend and I was holding on his hands so tight because the movie has its elements of scariness to me. It was a good and pretty tight movie and starring the beautiful actress; Kate Beckinsale and also the …

Yentl film
Yentl is one of my favorite Barbra Streisand films. Maybe it’s because she put her soul into this movie, making it a tribute for her own father in real life. It’s a story about heritage and the right to study religion as a female in the Jewish …

Perfect Stranger

Namastey London
With a mixed starcast, and without any solid story, Namstey London still succeeded to attract audience.

American Sniper, movie
Possibly one of Clint Eastwood’s most acclaimed directorial efforts, naturally surpassed by “Million Dollar Baby”, “American Sniper” is both transfixing and emotionally powerful in exploring the turbulent life of the factual Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper): regarded as the United States’ most brutal and lethal sniper. Opening with an intense and …
Semi-Pro
I don’t know if this movie was supposed to be funny or not but I just didn’t really enjoy it. It’s about a struggling basketball team and Will Farrel is the coach that has to try and bring it up out of its slump. It was kind of a …
Close My Eyes (R, 1991) movie
First of all, let the record show that I am in love with Clive Owen. He has this really intense look that he brings to his films. This movie is fairly old. I’d never heard of it before. And when I saw the subject matter, …
The Good Shepherd (2006)
“The Good Shepherd” is a sobering and rather depressing depiction of the early days of the secret government agency that eventually became the CIA. Matt Damon plays the role of Edward Wilson, a very morose young man with an idealistic desire to serve his country. He gets …
Twilight movie
The only positive thing that I could say about this movie is that it is consistent, that is, similar to the book where it was based from, it consistently disappoints. About a year ago, I remember my curiosity when everyone seemed very interested, so much into this new series …

Open Season

The movie, which centers around a bear who was raised by humans but …

Sunshine (UR, 2007)
I watched this film with a little apprehension. I rented it primarily to see if Danny Boyle’s production would capture all the nuances of his other films that I liked. “28 Days Later”, another movie that starred Cilian Murphy–had this really eerie atmosphere that reeked of high …
Precious movie - Based on the novel Push by Sapphire
I read the book Push that is the novel that the movie Precious is based on first, so that I could prepare myself for what everyone told me, and the previews indicated, was going to be a difficult movie to watch. When I watched the DVD, I was very …

Stage Fright movie
One of Alfred Hitchcock’s minor works tells a chilling story about murders, innocently accused men and all of the standard Hitchcock components. The difference between this and North by northwest for instance, is that Mr Hitchcock must have been very uninspired when he did this. Either that or that …
The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
Very curious indeed!
I had high hopes for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Firstly Brad Pitt was in it (how could it possibly be anything but great) and secondly it has been nominated for so many awards that I was really looking forward to seeing it. Unfortunately, although I …
